Educational Consultancy

Whether you’re looking for a brief external view on an area of school development, or longer-term support to further build on your school’s effectiveness, I can adapt my offer to suit your needs. I have a wide range of experience in supporting schools, senior leaders and teachers in enhancing their practice and I would love to get to know your school and see if I can do the same for you.

Every consultant is different and brings their own approach, personality and experience to what they offer, and I believe that you have to find the right consultant or ‘educational friend’ to work with. In this context, I would very much like to offer my unique personality and relationship-based approach (and at a price I hope you feel is affordable). So, drop me an email and we can see if I’m the right person for you.

Please see below some examples of my main areas of strength and the key areas of support I can offer. These are only quick highlights, so please get in touch to learn more about a specific area or a bespoke project we can design together by contacting me at sallycmaddison@gmail.com .

Resent consultancy and support work includes: developing KS2 writing curriculum through drama, supporting the work of an F2 unit, helping a school improve their high quality work and environment, as well as one off days in schools and MATs.

Cost of consultancy starts from £450 for a whole day, with half days starting from £250. Costs are negotiable depending on the type of service you require. A free staff meeting is available for any school who books a day or more consultancy.
